Its Friday afternoon so thought I'd ask who people are tipping to win this weekend.. what games will be good to watch and are you expecting any standout performances this weekend?
nope i'm all for sturt - it might not be a blowout like last time but they will get it done comfortably.
As long as the great man Paul Bell didnt celebrate to hard at Ninny's farewell... he could well go off for 50 points!

West could start today and still get nowhere near Sturt
(Mod: Might not be true, but it's funny anyway.)

Sturt will win by 30 one for every Scotch and Coke Bell consumed on Wednesday night

Games this week are:
My thoughts are-
Sturt vs West
Sturt Women & Men to win these games
Forestville vs North
North women and Forestville men
South vs Centrals
South women with the easy win and I think South men will utilise the home court advantage and come away with
Norwood vs Eastern
Eastern women & men to clean sweep the night
Woodville vs Southern
Woodville men and Southern girls will win in a scrappy game
and those are 'my thoughts'

Centrals to get a win and get there season back on track ... West have in proved but really is it a 50 point turn around from the first round some how i dont think so

Is Bell playing this weekend ? Or is he at a Wedding or something? ..Wont matter Sturt by 20 pts..
Norwood to roll Eastern in Both ..
Forestville Sweep
Woodville Sweep .. mens will be a good shoot out !
Centrals will beat South Narrowly in the mens .. womens team will try hard and be unlucky as usual ;)
Players due for a big one ...
Dix .. as usual
Watson .. if he likes the Marion floorboards he'll be ok ..
Danny Phillips... Westies have a good guard in him
Justin Wilkey .. i hate to say it but he's probably due !
Woodville .. just about all of them can get 20+ points when they run the floor well
Dan Thompson, Keith Krause & Ben Lomman ... these guys can play and should do well against Eastern after the last clash was so close
Brad Gerlach - lets see some Academy MVP numbers son .. 30+ points .. would be good to see + usual O Boards!
Panther ... 5 fouls in less time than Dougie from Forestville .. always impressive !
Love to hear someone put in a skyhook like Kareeem .. Simon Kent or Nick Hambour might be candidates !

Poetry in (slow) motion. Shane is my 1/2 tip for top 5 voting in Woolacott Medal.

When Sturt played West last round they had Laura. Now they have Angela. The difference could be significant for the women.

The looser out of the centrals south men match up will not play finals this year.....this is a biggy for both clubs. I think centrals will be too strong.....watson is going to love those new rings at Marion.

I'm not sure if Dan Thompson is playing, still having ankle troubles. Norwood will still get the sweep over the mavs at the dome tonight.
North will win it in a close one at wayville in the mens.
Im tipping sturt men over west, easily
isaac will you be at f/vile north game tonight seeing it's game of the week?
(Mod: No, I went to Sturt vs West.)
